Thanks to her cheat, Jiang Qin was as fast as ever, giving the sheet music to Yue Ji the very next day.
Since she wasn’t planning on singing for this round, she didn’t go to the recording studio. She just told Yue Ji to call her when it was ti to practice.
She’d heard that Yue Ji liked to alter sheet music, so she figured there might be a few bumps along the road.
But by noon, Yue Ji, much to her surprise, hadn’t requested any changes to the music.
Jiang Qin was a little surprised but didn’t say anything. The two of them went into the recording studio and started practicing.
They had only been at it for an hour when they suddenly heard a knock on the door.
When they opened the door, a director appeared with a cara drone.
"Good afternoon, esteed ladies. The thing is, the production team needs to shoot so behind-the-scenes footage to air as a bonus clip when the show broadcasts.
So, would now be a convenient ti?"
Yue Ji rolled her eyes rudely. "Convenient or not, you’re already here, aren’t you~"
"Hehe, Miss Yue Ji, please don’t be angry. I’m just doing my job. I didn’t an to waste your ti."
"Then hurry up and film. I’m anxious to get back to practicing."
It had to be said, she genuinely loved the song Jiang Qin had co up with this ti, so she was eager to perfect it.
She had a feeling this song could beco her masterpiece.
She just wondered if she’d be able to buy the performance rights for it later on.
Everyone in the Empire knew about Yue Ji’s temper, so the director didn’t dare to dawdle and started filming imdiately.
He then added a reminder, "Ladies, feel free to show so of the difficulties or disagreents you’re facing."
He was basically telling them to fake a fight, then make up and reach an understanding, maybe act stressed out, or even cry from exhaustion without fear.
Jiang Qin didn’t move. She despised this kind of fake performance more than anything.
Before, she had no choice; she couldn’t afford the breach-of-contract fees.
But now, her contract only had one requirent: to participate in the show under the Tianwen Entertainnt na.
There was nothing about what place she had to get, or any requirent to beco a breakout star.
’So there’s no need to force myself to play along with these damn charades!’
Yue Ji didn’t move either, leaning back to admire her manicure.
The only one left feeling awkward was the director.
"Heh heh, it’s fine if you two don’t feel like interacting. How about we just chat for a bit?"
"Fine~" Yue Ji said, unconcerned.
Jiang Qin also nodded in agreent.
"Alright, I’ll ask so of the questions that everyone on the Star Network is most interested in right now."
"Miss Jiang Qin, do you have any plans to go to school? Everyone is very concerned about you and feels that soone your age should still be on a campus."
Jiang Qin thought for a mont before shaking her head. "I probably won’t be going to school. I don’t really have any goals in life right now; I just want to be happy."
The director’s eyes filled with sympathy as he recalled the rumors on the Star Network.
But he quickly pushed the emotion aside and moved on to the next question.
"There’s another question your fans are very concerned about. If Miss Jiang Qin were to look for a partner, what kind of male would she choose?
I heard you were in a movie where the female lead, Liu Yue’e, ntioned her requirents for a partner.
Are those your requirents as well?"
Jiang Qin: "There are no set rules. I’ll just follow my heart.
As for requirents, I think my partner would need to be even more outrageous than what Liu Yue’e described for to even be interested."
’That’s right, I have no desire to find a partner, okay?’
’Hopefully, when this airs, it’ll make everyone realize the difficulty and back off.’
Because when an S-level female has high standards, it’s considered cute. When a C-level female has high standards, it’s called not knowing your place.
Even in the Interstellar era, you’d be ridiculed and despised for it.
The director probably didn’t know what those conditions were, so he didn’t give her any strange looks and just cheerfully changed the subject.
Then he started interviewing Yue Ji. "I’ve heard that Miss Yue Ji usually alters the lody of a song to make it a better fit for her.
I wonder, for this collaboration with Miss Jiang Qin, will you be making any changes?"
"That depends~"
"It’s not that I absolutely have to change it, it’s just that so lodies really don’t suit my voice."
Making soone like , with a naturally high-pitched voice, sing deeper songs—isn’t that a joke?
Even if I managed it with a falsetto, it would sound bizarre and completely out of place.
So I have no choice but to make alterations.
After that, the director asked Yue Ji a few questions about her love life.
"So fans want to know about the recent online buzz. We’ve heard you’re preparing to make it official with your 21-year-old boyfriend. Is that just a rumor or..."
Yue Ji nodded openly. "Yes. Next month, I’ll be marrying my eighth partner."
Jiang Qin, who happened to overhear from the side: ...
Although she had long since gotten used to the Interstellar marriage laws, she still found it a bit mind-blowing.
’Honestly, in her occasional monts of loneliness, she too had longed for one of those sweet romances. It’s just that she had a feeling she was probably incapable of loving soone.’
’That’s why she didn’t want to get into a relationship lightly.’
’It wouldn’t be fair to the other person.’
It had to be said, Interstellar netizens were pretty much the sa as those from Earth. Most of their questions were about relationship gossip.
He went on to ask a few more, including: which partner Yue Ji loved the most, and what kind of beast-form male she preferred.
The more Jiang Qin listened, the more she tried to shrink into the corner.
’If you’re asking her, you can’t ask ~’
’Good thing I don’t have a partner. Otherwise, with questions like these, my ho life would probably be in shambles.’
***
After the director finally left, the two resud their practice.
Yue Ji had no problem understanding the song, but there were so parts where she couldn’t quite grasp the feeling Jiang Qin was going for, so Jiang Qin sang it once as a demonstration.
After listening, Yue Ji sighed in admiration. "If you decided to beco a singer, you’d be no less successful than you are as a composer."
Jiang Qin just smiled.
She loved to sing, but not at the cost of her freedom, so she had no intention of becoming a singer.
「Three days passed in a flash.」
So of the less-inspired composers hadn’t even finished their pieces, and it was already ti for the next livestream.
In cases like that, they could only rush to pull out an old piece and make a few random changes to get by.
But ready or not, the third episode of the show arrived right on schedule.
Jiang Qin wasn’t performing today, so she sat peacefully in the guest section, wearing a simple little white dress.
The mont the show went live, the platform started to lag.
[Three days! Three whole days! Director, do you have any idea what waiting three days ans to ?]
[Master Karl is as handso as ever today.]
[Qin Bao is dressed so simply today. She looks so well-behaved, like a poor little thing.]
[Tsk tsk, the combination of Jiang Qin and Yue Ji... I can’t even imagine how stunning tonight’s performance will be.]
[Master Karl and Cang Hong’s collaboration should be great too, right?]
[The songs by Mr. Jones and Finland are also excellent, and the singers they’re working with today are just as talented.]
[Feels like the competition is going to be fierce tonight.]
[This the is totally in Mr. Jones’s comfort zone!]
